Chef, my husband and I attended the 7:30 seating, and each dish we had did a superb job of presenting interesting, complex flavors coherently. You especially hit it out of the park with the pork belly and the lobster (Hazelnut puree combined with the sweet, delicate shellfish was so good, I went away inside my head…). Exactly the kind of food we tend to seek out.

One critique: We’ll certainly be back, but will hope that the service has improved by then. We should not have had to ask for our cutlery to be replaced—twice—during a multicourse meal, nor should our water glasses have gone dry…again, twice! No acknowledgement of either lapse, just water spilled on the table and the bill unceremoniously slapped in front of my husband. We’re not unsympathetic: it was an encouragingly busy night! We just hope you did not lose any new diners through faults at the front of the house.

Congratulations, nevertheless, on creating such a truly memorable experience!

I’d like to echo FoodieFuturist’s comments. We attended the 10:00 seating and really loved the dishes we chose. I was especially fond of the venison and the pork belly. My lobster was a little overcooked, but the flavors were great.

We, unfortunately, also had an issue with the service. We waited 30-45 minutes to get both the 3rd and 4th courses. There were just two of us, and the table of 16 next to us (albeit with a different waiter) had already paid by the time we finished our 4th course. I’ve been in before since Randy took over, and the service has been great.

Still, we did enjoy the food and just hope that our server can get his performance on par with that of the kitchen.
